Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Direct Mart at none against Ingles Markets's shown. Direct Mart also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). Ingles Markets's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 14 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
